context_page_description: Hard Justice (2008) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling promotion that took place on August 10, 2008 at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, New Jersey. It was the fourth event under the Hard Justice name and the eighth event in the 2008 TNA PPV schedule. Seven professional wrestling matches were featured on the event's card, three of which were for championships.
  The main event was a Six Sides of Steel Weapons match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, in which the champion Samoa Joe defeated the challenger Booker T to retain the title. Another heavily promoted bout was a Last Man Standing match between Kurt Angle and A.J. Styles, which the latter won. The card also featured a match for the TNA World Tag Team Championship, which saw Beer Money, Inc. defeat The Latin American Xchange to become the new champions. A New Jersey Street Fight was also held pitting the team of Christian Cage and Rhino against Team 3D. Cage and Rhino were the victors in the contest.
context_section_description: The opening bout was for the TNA X Division Championship between the champion Petey Williams and the challenger Consequences Creed. The duration of the match was 12 minutes and 30 seconds. Williams was accompanied to the ring by Rhaka Khan, who interfered in the contest trying to aid Williams to no avail. Near the end of the match, Sheik Abdul Bashir walked out to the ring and bashed Creed across the back with a steel chair, which allowed Williams to force Creed's head into the mat with his signature Canadian Destroyer maneuver. Williams followed with the pin to win the match and retain the TNA X Division Championship. After the bout, Bashir continued to attack Creed.
  The second contest of the show was a Six Woman Tag Team match pitting the team of Gail Kim, ODB, and Taylor Wilde against the team of Awesome Kong and The Beautiful People (Angelina Love and Velvet Sky). Kong was accompanied to the ring by Raisha Saeed. Wilde won the match for her team with a pinning maneuver on Love at 11 minutes and 27 seconds.
  The TNA World Tag Team Championship was defended by LAX against Beer Money, Inc. in the next encounter. Jacqueline accompanied Beer Money to the ring, while Salinas and Héctor Guerrero accompanied LAX. The duration of the encounter was 14 minutes and 15 seconds. Filthee, Grandmaster Caz, and Melle Mel performed LAX's theme during their entrance. Near the end of the contest, Jacqueline and Salinas both interfered in the match. This led to Roode smacking Homicide in his injured right eye with a beer bottle while the referee was not looking. Storm then gained the pinfall to win the TNA World Tag Team Championship for his team.
  TNA held a Black Tie Brawl and Chain match between Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt, which lasted 11 minutes and 14 seconds. In this match, both competitors were tied together via a chain and dressed in tuxedos. The only way to win was to strip their opponent of the tuxedo and either make them submit or pin them afterwards. Lethal won the encounter after jumping off of a turnbuckle to drive his elbow into Dutt's chest and followed with the pin.
